Reports gathered from the Cotabato City Police Office showed that members of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Central Mindanao spotted the cargo trucks in front of the Roxas National High School in Cotabato City around 10 a.m. on Thursday.
The trucks were loaded with at least 1,000 sacks of NFA rice.
Upon inspection, the truck driver was unable to present pertinent documents, thus the confiscation of the cargo.
Cotabato City Police director Willie Dangane said the sacks of rice from the NFA office in General Santos City were set to be brought to the NFA warehouse in Polloc Port in Parang, Shariff Kabunsuan Province.
Authorities were puzzled why the cargo was set to be delivered to a businessman in Cotabato City.
NBI Central Mindanao Director Renato Mandawe believes the possibility for rice hoarding. They are still conducting further investigation on the case. (Edgardo Fuerzas)
